OK people. We're wanting to start a petition to get Reconquer Designs to add some camel-mounted Taureg lancers to his range. There's already the excellent https://www.potbellyminiatures.co.nz/.../north-african..., that can be customised to have lances, but I'm not quite sure the costumes are right.

Let us know what you think!

  I can see a future in which we all have a Tuareg army...

    If it helps our case, each Tuareg army needs around 100 Camel figures. (You can have even more but then it gets silly )

      Barry Norris I've built that Taureg list a bunch of times. I think my main driver is to find camel lancers at less than $NZ10 per model... (if not more!!)

      The Lancashire Games models come in at about $8 per model. Haven't seen them in the flesh though.

    Barry Norris Did a list and almost bought the lead last year - Unfeasibly Miniatures and various others - but the lead price was astronomically high!

    John Way here's hoping - the main argument to Marcos would be that those nations fit into his 'Reconquest of Spain' range. Now, personally I'd argue that they would, considering half the Muslim armies were Arabs and Berbers...

  Well it's too late for me as I've just finished my Tuareg army. 113 camels plus a few spares. I got mine from Resin Historicals in the UK. They were a good price but the shipping cost was high.

  They don't have the allarh lance unfortunately but look pretty good holding spears.

  It might be possible to buy the files if you like the look of them.

      Potbelly Miniatures Yes. The camels look very similar to yours. The riders are a bit different.

      Potbelly Miniatures The riders are a separate file. As the camels are very similar (the same?) you might just need the rider files.
